Chapter 18: Splintered Loyalties is OUT— and nothing cuts deeper than trust cracking in silence.
Arora’s mask is slipping. One meeting in the park, one ghost from her past, and everything she’s built—the fragile calm, the illusion of control, the lie of safety—splinters beneath her feet.
Every word with Marvick is a blade disguised as duty. Every promise she makes is another noose tightening around her neck. The lines between right and wrong blur, twisting into something sharp, something deadly.
And through it all—Sienna’s eyes, wide with worry, begging for a truth Arora can’t afford to give. Because love doesn’t save you in this world. It damns you.
Chapter 18: Splintered Loyalties is out now. The fracture has begun, and there’s no gluing the pieces back together.
Trust breaks. Lies bleed.
And Arora? She’s running out of time.
Your dealer of heartbreak and chaos,
